- ADL, AICC, IEEE LTSC, LETSI updates
The long awaited telecon occurred between ADL, LETSI, the IEEE LTSC and the IEEE Standards Association to discuss IP and access issues for IEEE LTSC standards. Getting free access to the standards turned out to not be a priority. The standards by themselves are not what most implementers want. Rather, they want guides on how to use the standards such as SCORM or the LETSI RTWS documentation. The priority concern of participants was permission to excerpt standards in implementation guides. The IEEE SA clarified that normally there is a fee for this. Both ADL and LETSI have produced documents making use of IEEE standards and from the IEEE SA perspective this slipped through the cracks. ADL did have IEEE permission for the SCORM 2004 3rd Edition submitted to ISO-IEC as a technical report. From the adopter perspective there is an expectation that free use in implementation guides will continue. There will be follow-up telecons to resolve.
Mike Rustici received an ADL grant for a project to look at the future learning experiences. The result is not necessarily an extension to SCORM. As this project develops ADL will update this group.
Avron mentioned that upcoming government grant funding opportunities are placing importance on assessment. The CMI data model revision should keep this in mind.
Ed mentioned that the AICC CMI Core project is underway and looking at the next iteration/generation of CMI functionality. Ed will give an update at the next telecon.
- Initiate call for nominations for WG11 officers
The nomination period opened for three WG11 officers: chair, vice-chair, secretary. Current (or in process) WG11 members should submit nominations to Don Holmes, the election processor, before December 3. An election will occur in the December 3 telecon. Tyde will forward a request for nominations to the LETSI tech, CMI Harmonization, and WG11 reflectors.
- Discussion: Plan for 1484.11.1 data model revision
A simple plan was proposed for beginning work on the data model revision.
1) Develop a draft that includes the changes agreed upon to date (ADL and LETSI comments, extension mechanism)
2) In parallel, identify experts who can address issues such as international adoption, accessibility, diverse communities of practice
3) When the initial draft is complete, send it to the experts for comment
4) Factor the comments into a final revision for balloting
Reminder: this reflector will continue to be used for several weeks as WG11 is stood-up. It may continue to be used longer to communicate general CMI/SCORM harmonization issues. However, parties who wish to participate in, or follow, the data model revision should subscribe directly to the IEEE LTSC reflector for WG11.
The reflector is: ltsc...@listserv.ieee.org
